Schools and nurseries across Battersea need grounds that look professional and stay safe in all weathers. We deliver routine and reactive care near Battersea Park and along the SW11 and SW8 postcodes, keeping entrances, play areas and pitches in top condition. Expect consistent lawn care, hedge trimming and weed control, plus prompt litter collection after busy drop-off and pick-up periods. Our team also supports seasonal planting so borders stay colourful without adding workload to staff.
Battersea is changing fast, from established Victorian terraces and mansion blocks to luxury new builds around Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station. That mix often means varied access, shared boundaries and different soil profiles across a single campus or multi-site trust. We’re used to tight service roads, gated courtyards and high-footfall routes near Clapham Junction. Our maintenance plans are tailored to protect surfaces, manage compaction and keep green spaces resilient for daily use.
We start with a site walkover, risk-aware method statements and a clear schedule for term time and holidays. Tasks are logged each visit, with photos available for site managers and governors, and priorities set for playground maintenance and sports pitch care. If weather disrupts mowing or planting, we reschedule quickly to maintain standards. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 25 minutes away, so you get responsive support and consistent crews who know your grounds.
Our school grounds maintenance in London Borough of Wandsworth accounts for busy roads, controlled parking and timed deliveries common around Queenstown and Nine Elms. Heavy footfall can compact lawns, so we build in aeration and overseeding where needed. We also plan for shade and wind exposure near taller developments, adjusting mowing heights and planting choices. Where access is tight, we use quieter, compact kit and keep pathways clear throughout the visit.

Costs vary by site size, frequency and the mix of tasks (lawn care, hedge trimming, litter collection, playground checks and sports pitch care). As a guide, small sites often start around £250–£600 per month for regular visits, while larger multi-area grounds can be £900–£2,500+ per month. One-off tidy-ups typically range from £350–£1,800. We’ll survey the grounds and provide an itemised plan.
A routine visit can take 1–3 hours for smaller grounds, or half a day to a full day for larger sites with multiple lawns, hedges and play areas. Seasonal tasks such as pitch renovations, tree work or large-scale planting can add 1–3 days depending on scope. Timescales are influenced by access, weather, safeguarding requirements, and whether work must be completed outside school hours or during holidays.
Most routine maintenance (mowing, hedge trimming, weeding and litter collection) doesn’t need planning permission. However, tree work can be restricted by Tree Preservation Orders or conservation area rules, and waste disposal must follow local regulations. If your school is on a managed estate or has specific site policies, we align with them too. We check constraints before starting and advise on any permissions required.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on qualifying installed elements we carry out as part of grounds improvements (for example, certain hard landscaping repairs or edging we install). Routine maintenance outcomes depend on weather, usage and existing site conditions, but we stand by our service standards and will rectify any issues caused by our work. Clear visit notes help keep expectations and results consistent.
For seasonal planting, we often specify hardy, low-allergen choices and tough perennials that cope with high footfall and occasional ball impact. For pitches, we can advise on seed mixes, topdressing and line marking systems suited to usage. Playground maintenance may include bark, rubber mulch or safer edging solutions where appropriate. We’ll assess sunlight, drainage and supervision sightlines, then propose options that fit your budget and safeguarding needs.
